I wouldn’t blame Rosie Napravnik for boycotting NYRA tracks after yesterday’s 11th race at Saratoga ( Sat., Aug. 16 ) eventho the purses are big. Irad Ortiz & Rosie were neck & neck down the stretch, when Irad forced Rosie’s horse into the rail, then moved in front of Rosie, cutting her off to the extent she had to pull her horse up. There was a stewards inquiry and Rosie filed an objection. The stewards did NOT honor it – that was just plain WRONG. Note: I had bet on Irad’s horse & not Rosie’s.
